Yea they will fit a 99-06 also but if you have dbc you will need an adapter or an aftermarket throttlebody.

I already have the 4.8 so originally I was thinking I could eek out a bit more from it, but as others have said, a decent set of headers and a tune will be ahead of the 350 that is in it now. So I'll probably just leave well enough alone. If I do feel the need to go bigger later, I'll skip the LS family entirely and go right to the 8.1. FWIW this 4.8 has the 243 heads.

My guess is that your motor is 07+ or someone added the 243 heads later. where are the knock sensors(side of the block or valley) The 8.1 is not the way to go unless you are putting it into a boat. The after market is geared to the boating market an expensive. The 6.0 will beat an 8.1 hands down. What transmission are you planning to run?
